I can send and recieve txt on vodafone and tesco only. can not make or recieve calls on any network. This phone is not new 2nd hand is it possible I have screwed the imie number up or the last owner has barred it ? I have had it 3 weeks ?. is there anyway to find out if the phone is barred or if someone else has messed with the imie number ?./ As I said it was working fine .

hello .. be nice this is my first post !!
i recently came into the possesion of one of these little phones .. however i had no intentions of using this on t-mobile and wished to unlock the phone to be able to use on o2 .. however .. after following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674 which seems to have done the trick as the t-mobile gumpf has disappeared when turning the phone on but now i have a screen that asks for sim network unlock pin to which i dont have one and dont know where to obtain one .. i dismiss it and it takes me to the home page .. wifi works perfectly but i cant send or receive both text messages and calls apart from emergency ones !! .. i have since purchased another tmobile chip and the sim network unlock pin screen is no longer there and would appear to have a signal and two arrows pointing up and down and the g changes back and forth with an h .. but still no calls or texts .. can someone please tell me that i havent killed the phone and there is a fix !! .. i will admit i am a complete newbie to all this so go gentley !!
if the phone was blocked by the network what would my symptoms be .. only asking as im paranoid that i may have been sold a dud phone !!
many thanks in advance
chris !!
Hi and welcome to the forums
Unfortunately, I don't think the thread you linked has anything to do with being able to use a SIM card from another network on your phone. If I'm not mistaken it's more for removing the splash screen (eg. the T-Mobile one when you start up the phone) and also to get rid of the custom apps that networks like putting on their phones.
What you want is an "UNLOCK" code that you can either get online or obtain from T-Mob themselves - I've not done it personally before but you may have to shell out some cash for the code.
Have you tried using the original SIM card that the phone came with?
P.S. The changing G and H with the two arrows are related to the Mobile Data Connection being used by your phone. The arrow pointing up being upload, and down being download.
ah ok .. hense my newbie ness !! .. oh ok .. i thought that meant it would unblock the phone to be able to use on any network !!
i dont have the original sim .. but when putting the o2 sim in i dont get the g & h or the arrows .. and the little graph that shows the reception !! .. however when i put the "new" t-mobile chip in .. it all appears but still unable to make calls etc !! .. just a bit confused as to why the phone doesnt work on t-mobile !!
thanks for the welcome !!
for some reason i thought id change the network on the phone to orange and it seems to be working ?? .. am i missing something ??
then soon to stop working again .. since found out the phone has been blacklisted .. so it looks as though ive been sold a dud .. is there anything i can do to get the phone working again ??
Extremely unclear what you are trying to do. "Blacklisted"? By whom and how? I don't even know what that means.
If you want to unlock your phone to use on any GSM network, as LetoKynes said above, you need an unlock code. Buy one online and when your phone asks for the code, enter it.
i was trying to unlock it to use on any network .. but then found out u the unlock code .. so as i was eager to crack on and use the phone i bought a sim to match the network it was on .. it was working fine but then suddenly stopped working .. i rang the network and the phone has since been reported lost so its been blacklisted !! .. and as i purchased the phone recently i guess ive been had over .. as i am unable to give the original owners details !! .. pretty gutted !! .. still the wifi still works ok !!!
Hi friends!
My LG P500 suddenly developed a problem that it does not register to any network and keeps showing a sim icon with a red exclamation sign on the notification bar. It is not taking any sim card. I showed it at local repair shops and all who checked it said that it is incorrigible.
I showed it at LG care. They have said that they would charge INR 2500 and take the older motherboard along with it. They are giving 3-month warranty.
Can anyone suggest what I should do or if there is a way to get it mended?
Did you flashed any rom? Maybe a baseband problem? Do you have an IMEI number?

Thanks for your message, friend.
I had rooted the phone a year back. It was functioning perfectly since ever. I did not flash any ROM. It has an IMEI number. I find it to be a hardware problem.
Hi
I bought a cheap motherboard the other day to try fix a old HTC one x I had thought I would give it to one of the kids. It installed ok and the phone booted up great but it can't find any mobile network at all if I put a SIM in it says preparing SIM but that it. If I go to setting and try to search for any network it just comes up with a error message. Also noticed the motherboard as been rooted and installed a Rom called Venom
